Tire pressure
Last fall I bought a set of wheels and mounted more aggressive tires on them for snow. I just took them off and put the original wheels and tires back on the truck. My question is this, Should I reduce the pressure in the tires that will be stored in the garage until next fall or leave them with the 65lbs of air

I would leave the pressure up. Just like a spare tire, you don't lower the pressure because it's not being used.
if you store them standing upright, the pressure will make it less likely to flat spot the tires. Even though theres no weight on them. Storing them laying down would be best, but I'd still keep the pressure up.

I’ve been swapping summer and winter tires for many many years. I always leave them fully inflated in storage. Never had an issue. A small benefit is that if you have a leak in the tire, it’ll be noticeably soft when you pull it out of storage.
